AEMC Instruments 6292 Datasheet & Stock

AEMC 6292 Offers

Programmable test currents and test duration with data storage and report generation using included application software.

The AEMC® Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 measures very low contact resistances with programmable test currents and test duration in order to address a wide range of applications. An alpha-numeric LCD display shows resistance readings up to 1Ω with resolution as low as 0.1µΩ, as well as test currents from 5 to 200A. It employs the four-terminal Kelvin measurement method to compensate for errors caused by test leads and their contact resistances.

Resistance is the property of a circuit or element that determines, for a given current, the rate at which electrical energy is converted to heat. Temperature, cycling, fatigue, vibration and corrosion all work to cause the gradual degradation of the resistance value of an electrical device. These conditions then result in excessive heating at the location when the component is carrying the rated current. Abnormally high resistance creates unwanted heating, possibly leading to danger, as well it causes energy losses which increase operating costs.

The 6292 low resistance ohmmeter has application in a wide range of industries and can help identify a number of problems that could lead to apparatus failure. A general list of industries include: power generation and distribution companies, chemical plants, refineries, mines, railroads, telecommunication companies, automotive manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers and anyone with UPS battery back-up systems.
